Male Betta

[Betta5]

I am getting a male betta soon

His tank is 5 us gallons, what is this in UK gallons?

It has a basic natural stones on the bottom. I have an air pump, which i will connect to one of those filter things that are powered by the bubbles.

Im not sure about the heater,Will i defo need one? Coz the only i can buy is a 50w one that is £20

Is there any cheeper ones? if i need to i will buy one.

Thanks for reading, look foward to reading your replys.

Thanks again

Hello again betta5

Can't help you on the UK gallons, sorry. But, for the airstone, some (few) bettas love to play in the bubbles, while others (most) hate the current they make. I'd say unless you keep your house a very warm temperature, a heater would be best in winter times, I wouldn't say it is necessary in July.
